Doesn't matter. Sony won this generation by a landslide. People will naturally migrate over. They care about having fun and the experience they have. Those numbers mean nothing, both consoles are very similar. Xbox One X is more powerful than the PlayStation 4 Pro but developers focused more on PlayStation which made games run better on it, ironically enough.
People have bought into their respective ecosystems. They have their friends there. They're used to the controllers. They like the interface or whatever. You get the idea. That's how this normally goes. This is assuming both will cost the same. If Microsoft is arrogant enough to assume they can risk pricing it $100 more and think that people will flock to it because it has more floppies then it's over.
I'll go with both but PlayStation 5 will be my main. Sony does lots more right for me than Microsoft. Installing an SSD on an Xbox is a nightmare that voids your warranty. Installing an SSD on PlayStation could not be any easier. Now Microsoft is trying to make this proprietary bullshit expandable storage. Yeah, I'm going to pay hundreds of dollars for some stupid expandable storage. Fuck off retards. Not sure what Sony is planning but I'm guessing it's going to be more user friendly.
It's looking like it will be another 360, so pretty based.

How can consoles even compete?
It unironically all depends on Halo
ONE major flaw
IT HAS NO FUCKING GAMES
that's what everyone said when ps4 and xbox one came out. 360 won that console war and everyone thought people will stay. boy were they wrong.
